Personally, we think that Team Clinton, Team Obama and the press all need to take a deep breath and relax.

Seriously.

The Democratic Party might have a female nominee come November, they might have an African American nominee come November and they might have a white male nominee come November (although far less likely).

It's exciting stuff. And historic.

So let's all enjoy it.

But if anyone expects that Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Obama will (or should) get an easier time from us - or anyone else - because she's a woman or he's black and the voters are just so excited by the possibility of their candidacy well, that's pretty stupid.

And it degrades how hard and how ably they both have worked to get where they are.

"Equal protection under the law" means that you stand up there and take your (fair) lumps along with everyone else. It's what makes America great.

And we haven't seen anything yet, from either campaign directed at the other, that ain't a "fair lump".

Who "We" Are

is a citizen pundit covering the 2008 Presidential election (among other things). Monday Morning Clacker plays favorites - BIG TIME. Most of what you read on this blog is true. It is certainly only one man’s opinion. Clacker’s parents/friends only hope that he makes it out of ’08 without being sued for slander.

What Is A "Monday Morning Clacker"?

Monday Morning is taken from the expression "Monday Morning Quarterback" - we try to remind ourselves not to take ourselves too seriously around here.
Clacker is taken from the Cowboy Governor, who has declared his disgust with Washington DC "Clackers" (read: Press).

If you haven't got anything nice to say about anybody come sit next to me
